Valve adjustment

[Mousehouse1]

What is everyone using for valve adjustment? I have seen a couple of different models you can purchase. Has anyone made their own? If so, do you have any pictures of the finished product?

This works pretty well. A piece of 1/4" bar is bent a bit, and the arm from a magnetic base is bolted to it, close to where the bar is bolted to the stud/rocker bolt to keep deflection errors at a minimum. Drill and tap the adjusting bolt hole last to keep it from distorting while building the thing.
